Massive Congratulations to young runners Henry P and Edgar E. Henry came first in the under 10’s at the first Witney Park run last weekend and Edgar came first in an inter-school cross country compeition this week! Well done boys.

Good luck Andy G this weekend in the Reading Half – no pressure but to follow our junior success this week – a podium position for you would be a triumph!

Don’t forget, the new spinning class at Witney leisure centre has started on Sundays at 11am.
